EL&N café makes airport bow after Harper Dennis Hobbs secures prime Heathrow location

UK. Fashion-led food and drink destination EL&N has opened its first outlet at London Heathrow Terminal 3, supported by strategic retail consultancy Harper Dennis Hobbs (HDH). EL&N, which stands for Eat, Live and Nourish, officially opened the doors to its new 355sq m café today.

The café brand has been branded ‘the most Instagrammable in the world’ and now operates in ten locations across London. It also recently unveiled its first venue in Paris.

The new EL&N café at Heathrow offers an all-day menu for guests to enjoy among its trademark pink-dominated backdrop and luxury fittings

EL&N’s Heathrow T3 venue is located in the luxury shopping area, which is home to stores from Burberry and Gucci among other luxury names.

Newmark Group-owned HDH said it is now targeting additional travel retail locations for the café brand across Europe and the Middle East.

The London-based agency specialises in travel retail advisory services and works with brands in the travel retail market, matching them with locations that reflect their strategy and identity.

Harper Dennis Hobbs Executive Director Travel Retail Simon Black said: “Part of our role is not just to find a prime retail location for our partners, but to help them expand into new destinations that are ideal for their growth ambitions and suit their brand.

“EL&N is a luxury, lifestyle, food and drink destination and it’s right at home among the brands found in Terminal 3’s luxury section.

“It’s always a special occasion to see the doors open on the first location working with a partner and it’s been an exciting project for us to be involved in.”
